A nurse has filmed the arrival of a small child, with the white overalls and the backpack still on his shoulder. Wave of emotion and indignation on social media for the rigidity of the pandemic containment system
Elementary school children in white overalls, with the school backpack still on their shoulders, sent all alone, without their parents, to hospital quarantine. It is the latest image that comes to us from China of zero Covid.
A new coronavirus outbreak that worries authorities has been discovered in an elementary school in Putian, a city in the eastern province of Fujian. A few dozen cases, but the strategy adopted by Beijing after the initial Wuhan disaster in January 2020 zero tolerance. Those who test positive are hospitalized, their close contacts sent to quarantine in controlled facilities for at least two weeks.
A nurse from Putian, Zhu Xiaqing, filmed the arrival of schoolchildren who were to be tested and quarantined. The woman downloaded the video on social networks causing a wave of emotion and disdain for the rigidity of the system containment of Covid, which does not consider the psychological effect on the most fragile.
In the video we see a child walking alone in a hospital corridor: I had a heart attack, my eyes filled with tears, the nurse wrote. Another scene shows a little boy standing alone in front of a machine for a plate that can’t get there until an operator takes the courage to help him and then a four-year-old with a trolley bigger than him waiting to be isolated in a hospital room.
